WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château Lagrange 2019 is produced using grapes fermented in thermo-regulated stainless-steel vats, followed by a two-to-three-week maceration period. Malolactic fermentation is carried out via co-inoculation. The wine then undergoes aging for 21 months in French oak barrels, with 50% to 60% being new oak. The 2019 harvest was extended over 27 days. The estate employs sustainability practices such as grazing sheep between vines and installing beehives.
